Lou and BLM's hasted DMing are probably two of my top three reasons i havent been able to get into D20. But that first scene where Lou is talking to the statues, and his man comes in.... like... the sadness in his eyes. really hit fkn hard.
@@vanyelwolfshadow8276bro you gotta spell out bro’s name. I thought you were shitting on BLM (Black Lives Matter). Don’t want ya to get reported for doing nothing bro.
I am so mad that I JUST realized that “The Bulb” is a REFRIGERATOR lightbulb. I thought it was like a bulb of garlic and but that was weird that everyone would worship a Vegetanian god and it never sat right with me. NO IT’S A GODDAMN REFRIGERATOR.
I like to believe there is a theological debate between each providence about if the bulb is of a fridge, freezer, pantry, or oven respectively. I like to believe it be an oven light instead.
As someone who has watched this season as it went, I say it is well worth the dropout sub. Honestly, this show had no right being as dramatic and actually heart wrenching as it was. Also, BRENNAN YOU BETTER MAKE A CAMPAIGN SETTING BOOK I WILL MEET YOU AT DENNYS IF YOU DONT
@@bepis602 same, but whether he makes a setting book or not will decide if our meeting will be the 'parking lot ass beating" kind or the "sharing a grandslam big style" kind
I like how the queen has this "I have had enough of this s***" attitude with the rest of the family and the fact that 3/4 of them dont even want to be royalty
Yeah, having watched only this episode, I don't know if she's gonna end up being a twist villain or something, but I honestly feel for her, having married into the royal family and yet being the only one who takes it seriously
The actual pain that is in Lou's eyes as his wife insults him is heart breaking :( The fact that they get into their character's mindset and etc. so much is incredible!!
@@jacobhilton378 They/Them can be and has been used in singular, to describe a person whose gender is ambiguous or unknown. Example: "I haven't met my professor yet. I hope *they* aren't too strict. I'm anxious to meet *them.*" Makes sense to apply the word to those who don't identify with either end of the binary. Also, even if that weren't the case, language is just a tool and it can, y'know, change. This is like hearing someone use the word "gay" and being like, "Why are you calling that person gay? Don't you know it means happy?" when you know what they meant.
@@AAARRRGGGHHHHHH a true coup is what a count can do against a king and queen. (True, coup, count, do. Perfect little example of the horror of the English language)
I really like the way Ally plays Liam. His nervousness in an alien scenario is a really good portrayal of a young kid. I especially like the way he asks “Do you hate me?” so straightforwardly to the Queen. As we grow older, we come to realize that these fears are often unfounded, but to a kid, questions like “Do you still love me?” or “Do you hate me?” are very valid.
A non-Spoiler warning to all that gets to watch the entire season from someone who has been watching on DROPOUT. There is little to no healing magic, NO way back from death and the Challenge ratings are far FAR against them. This is the season where you get punched in the emotional guts a few times and 2 episodes have content warnings. It's awesome to watch and my favourite season so far but just don't go in expecting the 'pick me up' experience of previous seasons. Goodluck and enjoy!
i hereby headcannon that this world is where basrir the ice cream store elemental came from i have only seen this episode so far and i love it i am laughing so much and it makes me want to play candy land for the first time in years
omg wait no because i thought the SAME exact thing!! no spoilers because i’ve only watched this episode so far and only the first season of fantasy high, but i also had the same thought.. it would make a LOT of sense tbh
Brennan is very good at switch characters. And to be fair to the character, she's clearly the only one of the family taking the duties and dangers of their position seriously, and has done for the past 20 years. And bare in mind the princesses are 18, not really kids anymore.
It is the dungeon masters job to traumatize the players If they aren’t thinking about the session 3 weeks down the line, you weren’t doing your job correctly
1:19:36 Holy cow Lou crushes this scene! Leaning into his (presumably) low INT in a way that is equal parts honest, humorous, and yet heart-rending (when he doesn't realize the implications of the invitation until the Queen spells it out). Amazing work!

This is why I love D&D. It can literally be whatever you want it to be. People get so wrapped up in world crafting and trying to make a serious world with real conflict between this faction and that faction, and thats fine. But we often forget that we can have fun with it to. Why not make a whole world of candy? Why not make an underwater dungeon on an asteroid flying through space with orc/mermaid hybrids? It doesn't have to make sense. It just has to be fun.
Ahhh an optimism I too shared at the beginning of the series. If you’re going into this series expecting fun shenanigans then maybe you should watch something else. If you are however interested in conflict, political drama, highly impossible odds and the most tension filled pc interactions that has blown me away in excitement and fear, then please keep watching
Not everyone’s fun is in stakes (which is honestly a concept I need to think of more when I’m DMing) and so tailor it to your table but if your table is super stakes based that’s great
I bought a subscription to DropoutTV just to watch this and I can promise you, you will not be disappointed!! A tale of heroism, political subterfuge, family bonds, and friends. Brennan and the gang absolutely slay, this season was incredible. It's $5 a month but you can pause or cancel anytime. Great way to support such an incredible group, highlighting how flexible D&D can be, and maybe even inspiring others to take their own spin at it ;D
Dude thank you! I just stumbled across this and loved every second of it. I wanted to find more and found out it was sub based. I’m so glad to hear it’s worth it though, going to try it out now.
I'm loving the fact that Amethar is coming across as someone bumbling, but well-meaning. He very clearly does NOT value being royalty, but is happy to delegate his job to people who actually know what they're doing, and does his best to avoid making mistakes that he KNOWS that he'll make.
I am SHOOK that Zac isn't playing a himbo, BUT what I WILL say, is that whatever his character is exactly, he is an IMMACULATE Lapin. Give that guy an Oscar! God damn that's some good RP.
Liam: yeah i don’t like love and i’m super open about it and am willing to change 🥰 Riz, who had a entire enemy based on his confusion/fear of being Ace and having all his friends leave him for love related reasons: *am i a joke to you*
So fun fact - this was filmed months before the live season of Fantasy High. It's possible that Liam's self-discovery here may have even inspired Murph somewhat.
You win Brennan, I just got a year of Dropout so I can watch more. First saw you on game changer and was laughing nonstop. I later saw you again as I was getting into DnD and started building a Final Fantasy and a Power Rangers table top game. You're a damn legend and I appreciate you
A queen can coup, but a king and queen's coup wouldn't follow through. A count can coup in cahoots with a queen of course because the truest coups are upheld by two
If this is a reference to a scene in an old movie or something--I'd appreciate someone letting me know. For some reason it makes me think of the Dream Sequence in the Shirley Temple version of The Little Princess.
@@lydiafayre9806 I don’t know if it’s a direct reference, but it is very like many scenes from the Marx Brother’s movies. Highly recommend, especially A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races
I can not get past “maybe he can show me his pit” this will live in my head forever and I’m pretty sure I’m going to laugh every time I eat an avocado now!
Just discovered this. I love it! I feel like necromancy should be based on Sucralose. Sucralocy the dark art of false sugar that’s close to real sugar but just not quite as good. With zombies that are sugar free gummy bears and stuff.
I started watching this after having watched Escape from the Bloodkeep - one of the rare occurences where an ad was actually useful! And I'll tell you, I'm not cancelling my subscription after the free week. MY GOD this is good. I've been roleplaying for years now, but I had no idea a campain could be that intense. The mastering is on point, the players are amazing, these are several hours of my life I would happily spend again doing exactly this: watching A Crown Of Candy. In Sweetness, There Is Strength!
WHY IS THIS SO DAMN ENGAGING? I've never in my life played something even remotely related to D&D, and now, after a measly two hours of listening to Brennan's superb worldbuilding, I want to find a group to play it. Kudos on the good work, you've got me to seriously consider joining the channel.
I have a great hesitation to get another netflix. But, Brennan Lee Mulligan makes it so tempting to get the dropout netflix. As a side: you cannot abbreviate Brennan's name, without some level of misunderstanding.
No words, only Bravo, Brennan. Bravo for making the most ambitious, funny, and dramatic story of sweetness and strength. Props to the cast and crew as always! For Candia!
Just finished watching the full series, and I have to say I’m emotionally drained in a way that should be impossible for a group of people playing D&D. Bravo to everyone who worked on it! You’ve sent me into a depression in the best way possible.
Incredible, Brennan never fails to to deliver unique and interesting settings for these campaigns. Although it does make me wonder, I'd love to see some bts of the character creation side of things. Especially in a story like this one where everyone was already so connected. How much are the players told beforehand? How much influence do they end up having on the lore? How much story is written before and how much is made up after their characters are decided?
@@CalvinKool-Aid well, you probably also need to have the credit and be able to afford the fees on a credit card or be able to buy the smallest prepaid credit card which s a fair bit. Having very little money makes things harder even when you can technically afford something, I have an agreement with a friend with a credit card where I give them five bucks cash every month i wanna use dropout, and even then some months I just go without it cause I don't have a lot of money and sometimes theres other things I need to prioritize to the point where even 5 is too much. Also they could just be like, a kid/teen without access to a parents cash lmao.
@@CalvinKool-Aid For me, no not really. In addition to all of my bills, I pay for a few different streaming services. All but one of them autodraft every month, and I don't feel comfortable adding in another one. Maybe later in the year, but not right now.
I told myself that if I got all my work done today, I'd get to watch this while eating an obscene amount of the titular sweets. Guess who's making dentists roll in their graves tonight! 🤙🍬🍭🍫
It's a high battle between Matthew Mercer and brennan mulligan yall are some of the best dungeon masters I have ever heard. Keep up the hard work D20. I love this squad of people some of the best players I've seen. Definitely cant wait to see more. Huza off to high school
This is the campaign that got me into d20 and it’s probably my favourite dnd campaign EVER next to TAZ Balance. Everyone did such a good job with their characters and the world building brennan did was PHENOMENAL. If you can only afford dropout for a little while then this is 100% one of the things you need to watch. I watched it all the way back in September of 2020 and im still thinking about it.
Rewatching this after finishing the season, watching the episodes twice each on dropout during its run. This has to be my favorite DnD story so far. All the feels knowing what I know now...
Finally starting my rewatch while making certain I have a regular therapy schedule throughout, and I felt almost wild hearing two special names just in this episode.
I am absolutely loving this! I can't believe how invested I am in the fortunes of make believe candy characters! I can totally see them all in my mind's eye in great detail along with Castle Candy itself and the kingdom. Brennan you are amazing and have opened up a whole new world to me, I'd never been into D and D before but Dimension 20 has grabbed me and pulled me in. Keep up the good work and please keep me in mind as the future Mrs Mulligan!

Elliot Burns. Well 1) to be fair they weren’t his kids and 2) yeah he seems like a combo of Ned and Bobert
Read that as Bobby the barbarian like from the dnd cartoon
Def get Rob vibes from him so good
BOBBY B! Long may he reign.
@@P0rk_Sinigang LET'S GOOOOOOO! BOBBY B *airhorns blast*
dimension 20 is singlehandedly getting me through quarantine
I'm loving the fact that Amethar is coming across as someone bumbling, but well-meaning. He very clearly does NOT value being royalty, but is happy to delegate his job to people who actually know what they're doing, and does his best to avoid making mistakes that he KNOWS that he'll make.
I am SHOOK that Zac isn't playing a himbo, BUT what I WILL say, is that whatever his character is exactly, he is an IMMACULATE Lapin. Give that guy an Oscar! God damn that's some good RP.
Liam: yeah i don’t like love and i’m super open about it and am willing to change 🥰
Riz, who had a entire enemy based on his confusion/fear of being Ace and having all his friends leave him for love related reasons: *am i a joke to you*
So fun fact - this was filmed months before the live season of Fantasy High. It's possible that Liam's self-discovery here may have even inspired Murph somewhat.
the return of the kugrash dance is the most full-circle thing ive ever seen, and im here for it
Zac has ended his himbo era. He is playing.... The *ANTI-HIMBO*
zac being a stuffy councilor is so fucking funny i love the diversion of character esp since he's plays himbo a lot
Uh oh
game of thrones meets candyland????? LETS GOOOOOOOO
You win Brennan, I just got a year of Dropout so I can watch more. First saw you on game changer and was laughing nonstop. I later saw you again as I was getting into DnD and started building a Final Fantasy and a Power Rangers table top game. You're a damn legend and I appreciate you
A Power Rangers TTRPG?! What’s that like!? What do you have for character classes?!
So the king can’t coup? But if a king and queen were in kaboots about a coup, the coup is true? A count can also coup, but is the coup even true?
A queen can coup, but a king and queen's coup wouldn't follow through. A count can coup in cahoots with a queen of course because the truest coups are upheld by two
If this is a reference to a scene in an old movie or something--I'd appreciate someone letting me know. For some reason it makes me think of the Dream Sequence in the Shirley Temple version of The Little Princess.
@@lydiafayre9806 I don’t know if it’s a direct reference, but it is very like many scenes from the Marx Brother’s movies. Highly recommend, especially A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races
“I just remembered, this is a piece if cake with eyes.”
I can not get past “maybe he can show me his pit” this will live in my head forever and I’m pretty sure I’m going to laugh every time I eat an avocado now!
Just discovered this. I love it! I feel like necromancy should be based on Sucralose. Sucralocy the dark art of false sugar that’s close to real sugar but just not quite as good.
With zombies that are sugar free gummy bears and stuff.
the end: Well... that escalated quickly
Genuinely, it escalates SO MUCH MORE.
I was preparing a chronomancy ritual in hopes that this would come faster, finally.
Ah yes, someone finally using the most powerful magic of them all
I started watching this after having watched Escape from the Bloodkeep - one of the rare occurences where an ad was actually useful! And I'll tell you, I'm not cancelling my subscription after the free week. MY GOD this is good. I've been roleplaying for years now, but I had no idea a campain could be that intense. The mastering is on point, the players are amazing, these are several hours of my life I would happily spend again doing exactly this: watching A Crown Of Candy.
In Sweetness, There Is Strength!
3 episodes in and everyone keeps talking over chancellor Lapin and I can't handle it cause I love his character. Let my boy speak gummy bear
Definately wasn't enough Lapan dialouge in this season...😔
WHY IS THIS SO DAMN ENGAGING? I've never in my life played something even remotely related to D&D, and now, after a measly two hours of listening to Brennan's superb worldbuilding, I want to find a group to play it. Kudos on the good work, you've got me to seriously consider joining the channel.
update?
Of all the D20 series... I want this as an animated series more than any
Jesus Brennan is a VERY GOOD ACTOR
I love how sad Emily looked when the tart guard wailed “IM BAD”
She’s so empathic she felt bad for a fictional idiot tart guard 😂
I love how infectious Brennan's laugh is. He just seems fun.
I have a great hesitation to get another netflix. But, Brennan Lee Mulligan makes it so tempting to get the dropout netflix.
As a side: you cannot abbreviate Brennan's name, without some level of misunderstanding.
It's like A Tribe Called Quest, or A Pimp Named Slickback.
Given that Brennan Lee Mulligan is pro-BLM, it's not a terrible abbreviation :P
@@KarlEller given the shadiness of the organisation in question (as opposed to the cause)…
People call him BLeeM
No words, only Bravo, Brennan. Bravo for making the most ambitious, funny, and dramatic story of sweetness and strength. Props to the cast and crew as always! For Candia!
Brennan would get a lot more patrons if he had a tier where he writes you a love letter, because DAMN, SWOON
It's always so intriguing to see Brennan go "uuhhh" and "ehmm" when describing something, but not screwing up for a second when in character
i can't help but imagine everything Adverture Time style hahaha
Same
Just finished watching the full series, and I have to say I’m emotionally drained in a way that should be impossible for a group of people playing D&D. Bravo to everyone who worked on it! You’ve sent me into a depression in the best way possible.
The editing of 1:55:30 is applause-worthy
35:45 Emily and Siobhan passing notes and having a complete conversation in the background sent me 🤣
This seems like it’s going to be better than every previous campaign. I’m suuuper excited.
Incredible, Brennan never fails to to deliver unique and interesting settings for these campaigns. Although it does make me wonder, I'd love to see some bts of the character creation side of things. Especially in a story like this one where everyone was already so connected. How much are the players told beforehand? How much influence do they end up having on the lore? How much story is written before and how much is made up after their characters are decided?
I believe most of those questions are answered in their talk back show on Dropout. ‘Adventuring party’
IT'S ON TH-cam OMG I can't afford dropout and the episodes aired so late in my timezone, so this was a blessing
This episode is. I don't know if the rest is yet.
Dropout is like 5 bucks? You can’t afford?
@@CalvinKool-Aid well, you probably also need to have the credit and be able to afford the fees on a credit card or be able to buy the smallest prepaid credit card which s a fair bit. Having very little money makes things harder even when you can technically afford something, I have an agreement with a friend with a credit card where I give them five bucks cash every month i wanna use dropout, and even then some months I just go without it cause I don't have a lot of money and sometimes theres other things I need to prioritize to the point where even 5 is too much. Also they could just be like, a kid/teen without access to a parents cash lmao.
@@CalvinKool-Aid For me, no not really. In addition to all of my bills, I pay for a few different streaming services. All but one of them autodraft every month, and I don't feel comfortable adding in another one. Maybe later in the year, but not right now.
@@CalvinKool-Aid we're not all American. 5 bucks is 500+ in my money. That's like 50+ lays packets. Or a month of public transport.
I told myself that if I got all my work done today, I'd get to watch this while eating an obscene amount of the titular sweets. Guess who's making dentists roll in their graves tonight! 🤙🍬🍭🍫
Did you kill your dentist?
Not likely. Unless they had the Rona.
It's a high battle between Matthew Mercer and brennan mulligan yall are some of the best dungeon masters I have ever heard. Keep up the hard work D20. I love this squad of people some of the best players I've seen. Definitely cant wait to see more. Huza off to high school
1:02:45 Yep! All of them are definitely actors, through-n-through. Masterful wordplay.
This is the campaign that got me into d20 and it’s probably my favourite dnd campaign EVER next to TAZ Balance. Everyone did such a good job with their characters and the world building brennan did was PHENOMENAL. If you can only afford dropout for a little while then this is 100% one of the things you need to watch. I watched it all the way back in September of 2020 and im still thinking about it.
I have never been more excited for a character introduction than for the twins because my sister is a fencer and I'm an aerialist
Rewatching this after finishing the season, watching the episodes twice each on dropout during its run. This has to be my favorite DnD story so far. All the feels knowing what I know now...
There is not a show on any television that makes me laugh as hard as these people
I think it’s because it effectively simulates hanging out with your friends, playing the game. And your friends happen to be practiced comedians.
This is what Disenchantment should of been like. Matt Groening’s gotta take some notes
oh sweet. my depression was almost all consuming but now i have something to hyperfixate on. thanks!
pyococo coco how are you? do you need someone to talk to?
You ok?
From the comments I've read, this season will be the hardest one yet, I think it's ironic how the season with candy and sweets is the "darkest" one.
Hahaha love Brennan setting up the encounter at the end, laughing and licking his lips at 1:56:55 and casually inquiring about how everyone is set up.
How is there such deep lore for candy land.
Is this truly what is going to get me to sign up for drop out after 2 years of resisting?...
... Yes.
Darn you, Dimension 20, for making me care so much about the lives of a bunch of anthropomorphic food😭

JET: "God willing, future abdicator to the throne", that line hurts now.
*[SPOILERS]*
I mean, Emily’s character did end up as queen...
Finally starting my rewatch while making certain I have a regular therapy schedule throughout, and I felt almost wild hearing two special names just in this episode.
I love the sets for all the battles and scenes, it just makes it so much easier to throw your imagination into the story and see it all.
I am absolutely loving this! I can't believe how invested I am in the fortunes of make believe candy characters! I can totally see them all in my mind's eye in great detail along with Castle Candy itself and the kingdom. Brennan you are amazing and have opened up a whole new world to me, I'd never been into D and D before but Dimension 20 has grabbed me and pulled me in. Keep up the good work and please keep me in mind as the future Mrs Mulligan!
this seems like a fun group, this would be the type of group that would get me into DnD. good episode guys!
The sheer *"Newman!"* energy from Theobald when he utters "Lapin" around 11:20 🤣🤣
I’m gonna get a cavity just listening to this
